Lyrics

Grew up in a small town and when the rain would fall down, I’d just stare out my win dow.

Dream in’ of what could be and if I’d end up hap py.

I would pray.

Try ing hard to reach out but when I tried to speak out, felt like no one could hear me.

Want ed to be long here but some thing felt so wrong here.

So I’d pray.

(I would pray) I could break a way.

I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly.

I’ll do what it takes ’til I touch the sky.

I’ll make a wish.

Take a chance.

Make a change and break a way.

Out of the dark ness and in to the sun.

But I won’t for get all the ones that I love.

I’ll ta take a risk.

Take a chance.

Make a change and break a way.

Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah.

Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah.

break a way.

Out of the dark ness and in to the sun.

But I won’t for get the place I come from.

I got ta take a risk.

Take a chance.

Make a change and break a way,

break a way,

break a way.
